In PIE6, changing between mobile and desktop view changes whether PIE identifies itself as a mobile browser or desktop browser. Works great on sites like cnn.com, which offer a mobile version of their page. Useless on sites that don't offer a mobile version of their page, like the site I'm wanting to visit. Switching between mobile and desktop view does nothing on a page like that.

The old PIE (v5?) had a "one-column" view setting that would reflow pages into a single column, regardless of whether the site had a mobile version or not. This worked great on the site I'm interested in, but it's gone in PIE6.

So, back to the original question, is it at all possible to install the old PIE on a Diamond flashed to a Juicy 4.x ROM? That would provide the "best of both worlds." I use Opera for most web sites, but loved PIE(5?) for that one particular site.
While I do miss the one column view in the previous PIE, the fact that we can now go to web sites that require an active x compatible browser still trumps the previous version.

A lot of people use their diamond to connect to corporate sites and now finally with IE6 I can get to all of the ones I wasn't able to with opera, skyfire, or the previous IE browsers.

I think Juicy had to make a tough decision on which one to include knowing that he could not make everyone happy. At the end, I believe he chose the one he prefers.
